Should Maiden Name Be on Headstone?

A tombstone is a historical document of sorts, and a wife's maiden name should always appear.

Do you put maiden name on gravestone?

Include the last name on the headstone. Other married names can be included in the last name field as all surnames are searchable in Memorial Search. The 'maiden name' is only for the maiden name.

How do I add my maiden name to my headstone?

Include the person's complete name; first, middle and last. If it is a married woman who has taken her husband's name, consider including her complete name, with both the maiden and married name. This is not traditional, yet would be greatly appreciated by future generations.
